Louise Brooks’ Knickerbocker Chicken Supreme

Louise is the featured star over at my Dinner and a Newsletter this month, so do nip over there if you are a fan of Brooksie.

DINNER AND A MOVIE

Louise shared this recipe with readers of the Hollywood Daily Citizen in 1928. It looks a bit bonkers and is a bit of a juggle to get everything ready at the same time, but it’s absolutely delicious!

A dish as elegant and eccentric as Louise herself.

A couple of tips from me

  • I covered the baking dish with foil rather than buttered paper
  • I oven-cooked the chicken breast at 200℃
  • You could safely boost up the paprika, I reckon!

Do get in touch if you give this one a whirl. It feels very retro, very Louise…
